Actually I suggested doing that on page 3. I guess there are at least two of us pure geniuses on UHH.

The neighbor tends to use my water faucet to water her lawn. What happened if I put a warning sign on the faucet saying something like "DANGER! Do not use. May cause serious injury or death!". Am I in any kind of trouble for doing so?
If you don't care that she is using your water why even consider posting a sign?
If you don't want to confront her or call the law on her Just tightly screw a cap on the bib!! no confrontation no signs!!

Put a cut of on the pipe so you can shut off the water. Doesn’t the pipe need to be drained and shut off for the winter.

Doesn’t anyone read the previous 10 pages of posts before posting your own comments? It might help a lot.

I've had that happen to me before, so I changed the faucet handle with one that you can take off easily, then keep it in the house/garage, etc. so I can put it back on when I need it.

I don't care if she is still doing it. I just wonder about the law on my posting the sign. I don't care to catch her in action. Can the city makes me take the sign down?
I would suggest calling the city and asking. Since rules vary greatly.

Your local water company may offer an effective action to stop the theft of water. Consult it.

You could take the screw out of the valve and remove the handle used to turn it on. You could for a small fee have a small protective box put over it which would also protect it from weather or you could just put your big boy britches on and go face her and tell her to stop or you will call the police for the theft.

Please don't take this as a snarky comment, but if you are really concerned about what the city might do make a call to the appropriate city department and ask.

I am answering your question so we can put this thread to bed. Yes, I think you will be in trouble if you post your sign. The ATF, IRS, FBI will show up at your house at 5:30 in the morning with an assault team and kick in your doors, after whispering “police” so low, even your noisy neighbor with the big ears can’t hear them.
They will haul you outside, still in your night clothes, handcuff you and sit you on the wet grass while they ransacked your house looking for the tools you used to make signs.
At the end they will kiss your wife, physically assault your dog and then take you to jail, where you will stay for two years without benefit of a lawyer or any constitutional protections. When you complain, they will cite the Patriot Sign Act.
Now, you have your answer so let’s shut this thread down and go home. All except for you of course.

Texasdigital, you gotta be careful around those people with acronyms for employers. The have been known to rape cattle and stampede women. And take candy from babies. So be careful what you say.
